In this technique, a gaseous beam of anions of an element is bombarded with photons from a laser. The photons knock electrons off some of the anions, and the energies of the emitted electrons are detected. The incident radiation had a wavelength of 1064 nm, and the emitted electrons had an energy of 0.137 eV. Although the analysis is more complicated, we can obtain an estimate of the electron affinity from the energy difference between the photons and the emitted electrons.

- Many fireworks use magnesium to burn, which releases a significant amount of energy. The heat released causes the oxide to glow, emitting white light. The color of this light can be changed by including nitrates and chlorides of elements that emit in the visible region of their spectra. One such compound is barium nitrate, which produces a yellow-green light. Excited barium ions generate light with wavelengths of 487 nm, 524 nm, 543 nm, and 578 nm. For each case, calculate: (a) the change in energy (in electron volts) of a barium atom and (b) the molar change in energy (in kilojoules per second).arrow_forwardClouds of hot, luminous interstellar hydrogen gas can be seen in some parts of the galaxy.
